Three suspects were arrested early Wednesday after leading Clovis police on a 23-mile pursuit that ended in southwest Fresno, the Clovis Police Department said in a statement.
A Clovis officer patrolling near Fowler and Alluvial avenues around 3:30 a.m. attempted to stop a suspicious vehicle, but the driver sped off, according to police.
Officers pursued the vehicle with assistance from the California Highway Patrol, which deployed spike strips to deflate the fleeing vehicle’s tires.
The chase ended near California and Orange avenues when a Clovis officer executed a PIT maneuver, forcing the vehicle to stop.
